Hi Joe, You only need either Apache or IIS, not both. I am also running WinXP, but i have Home edition so i have no choice other then to run Apache, but Apache is better anyways;-) I have Apache 2.0.40 (http://httpd.apache.org/) with PHP 4.3.2( http://www.php.net/downloads.php) and MySQL 3.23.52( http://www.mysql.com )And it all works fine. First remove IIS, however u can run both if u change the ports, both Apache and IIS listen to port 80 by default, if u change that for one of em.... But i would go with Apache. First instal MySQL, after installing go to C:/mysql/bin and click on WinMysqladmin and it works. Then instal Apache.. Type in http://localhost to confirm apache is running. Now install PHP, if u want and easy way take the installer version, but i would recommend the ZIP file. Unzip this to C:/php and copy the php4ts.dll file to C:/WINDOWS/System32 and copy the php.ini-dist to C:/WINDOWS and rename it to php.ini. Now your almost done... Add the following lines to you http.conf file: ( Change your path according to your installation)
#Added myself for php(SAPI-Version) # LoadModule php4_module "C:/PHP/sapi/php4apache2.dll" AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3 .phtml # Restart your webserver and it should work;-) Make a script with : <?php phpinfo(); ?> And place it into you webserver root.. Call it info.php for instance and with your browser poin to http://localhost/info.php and if everything works you should see a page. Have FUN.
